I think I have enough editing skills to make a good map but I have never had any idea of what to make. I have been looking everywhere for ideas so thank you for yours. I like the 'Deep blue Sea' , Mayan/Aztec ideas.

Those are some pretty good ideas, I'm working on Broadside from Tribes, that will be a nice map, if I could ever get the textures.

..and a few more:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Theme Park/Carnaval/Fair. (Roller-coasters, Faris (sp) Wheel, Etc...)

You wanna know what scares me? That if done right, all of these ideas are possible.

If not you can go hog wild and make a T&L required map and make it for Q3a [img]/~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif[/img]

Jenkins · 15th Dec 1999, 10:16 PM

T&L?

Stryker · 16th Dec 1999, 01:05 AM

I am actually making an Aircraft Carrier right now. It is to scale and designed after a very high detailed Model I have of one. (there will not be quite as much detail in the level though to save some frame rate)
It is comming along nicely.

Wanderer · 16th Dec 1999, 02:31 AM

T&L (transformations and lighting) is a quick way of saying geometry processors.

Read up on them at various hardware sites like Anandtech.

azide · 16th Dec 1999, 03:47 PM

how bout
...football stadium
...area 51 with runway
...ellis island with statue of liberty
...graceland! with a picuture of that fat man himself somewhere as an easter egg.

Jenkins · 19th Dec 1999, 01:26 AM

Aircraft Carrier eh? That might be nice to see, can't wait. I'm kinda stumpped on ideas though, what should I make?!?! (or try to make)

FenderTX · 19th Dec 1999, 02:36 AM

i'm thinking ungodly high poly counts with the eiffel tower..but man that would look cool.

purice · 19th Dec 1999, 10:50 AM

how about an atf assault on the branch davidian compound
or, dare i say, cops vs. trenchcoat mafia
at columbine high

i've recently been looking at old d&d maps
for ideas, theres a plethora of goodness in those dusty old pages

off topic:
does anyone have a good technique for caves? i pretty much build a cube, chop off sides w/ deintersect and daisy chain away.
it looks pretty nice but the polys add up quickly.

Wanderer · 19th Dec 1999, 11:22 AM

Eifel Tower? Easy just make a bunch of masked textures instead of actually making the peices. Then make invisible collision hulls to act as the girders.

See I told ya. A little ingenuity and the Unreal engine will love ya for it. And you'll get bonus points for actually thinking at Nali City.

NarkyBark · 19th Dec 1999, 12:21 PM

Hmm... bonus points... I wouldn't count on that [img]/~unreal/ubb/html/wink.gif[/img]

Wanderer · 19th Dec 1999, 07:35 PM

Ok, so you win bonus points with the players by giving them somewhere familiar to play without making it so that you need a $10,000 workstation on crack to play it [img]/~unreal/ubb/html/smile.gif[/img]
